Like a lot of writers I find Pinterest to be a wonderful source of inspiration. From quotes, to settings, to music and to characters I can spend hours browsing images and pinning pictures and words that really speak to me, in fact, I often do. It's a huge delay tactic #guilty #sorrynotsorry For my writing I often start with a setting. Just like in Time After Time the first place I imagined was Broadhurst Manor and the smaller, quaint parsonage nearby where Penelope lived. For my latest WIP I kept returning to images of a lonely English home set among the Yorkshire Moors. It is after all no secret that I am a huge Bronte fan. You can see some of the images that inspired Harris House here. From there I add the characters in my head who are so real and vivid that if I passed them in the street I would recognize them instantly and we would probably end up being best friends. Then, through the writing process, I really get to know them such is the case with Danielle. This image, sourced from Pinterest, is almost exactly how I visualized her in my mind. Beautiful, young, haunted and about to fall in love in the most tragic of ways... Introducing Danielle - who is about to arrive at Harris House only to be drawn into terrifying world of Cameron and Lillian Harris. Next time I will share the inspiration for Cameron Harris.
bye for now Wendy xx
